Canine Wellness Care & Vaccination

What Sets Us Apart?

Be warned. Not every veterinary practice will offer the same level of care.

Read WHY Dandenong Veterinary Hospital (DVH) offers a unique perspective on Quality Veterinary Care.

It is our priority at DVH to use our skills and knowledge to provide your pets customised preventative healthcare plans. Medicine is a complex field, and there can be many options your veterinarian may choose when it comes to the level of care offered for your furry family member. This covers the product choices, equipment choices and the rigorous guidelines and Standards Of Care we strive for.

Comparing costs? Be sure to compare apples-with-apples. We too could cut options out completely, or choose a more inferior or cheaper option, but at DVH, we understand how important each choice is.

Let us share below WHY we have made these choices for you, and WHY we won’t compromise on the level of care your pet deserves.

There is MORE than one reason that Dandenong Veterinary Hospital is NOT the same… Our difference is in the details!

Fear Free Approach

Animals are at their best when they feel at ease. Fear Free offers science-based, behaviour-led strategies to prevent and reduce fear, anxiety, and stress for pets.

    Junior Nurture Care Program

    A customised roadmap for puppies and kittens. We provide Special discounts and ‘freebies’ during this age bracket, helping you get started on the right track to set them up for a long happy life.

      THREE-yearly C3 Distemper, Parvo, Hepatitis vaccine

      TRIENNIAL (three-yearly) vaccine for the C3 diseases reduces the need for unnecessary vaccination, further decreasing the risk of rare vaccination side effects.

        Vaccine Antibody testing

        On-site antibody testing assesses your pet’s antibody levels from previous C3 vaccination. This avoids over-vaccination – if your pet passes this blood test they do not yet require re-vaccination.

          Nasal Canine Cough C2 vaccination - Bordetella and Parainfluenza

          Highly effective annual NASAL vaccine for C2 diseases, no needle required. Provides rapid protective effect, working faster and providing superior protection compared with injectable C2 vaccines.

            Leptospirosis protection

            Leptospirosis is a nasty and life-threatening bacterial disease spread by rodents and wildlife. Our lepto vaccine provides three-serovar protection giving a broader defence than others on the market.

              Heartworm protection, Once-Yearly

              Single-dose annual Heartworm protection against a life-threatening, mosquito-borne disease. This ensures full protection, avoiding a monthly preventative that up to 60% of us forget to give!

                Flea & Tick Protection - Once-Yearly Injection or Six-Month Spot-On

                Single-dose annual Flea protection against the most common flea parasite, or twice yearly spot on. Providing extended Twelve or Six month protection not affected by bathing or swimming.

                  Intestinal deworming - Real Liver Flavoured!

                  42.9% of Victorian dog parks are contaminated with worm eggs! We use a highly effective, tasty, liver flavoured tablet, making dosing easy. Given once every 3 months.

                    Twice-For-Life (TFL) Six-monthly Health Examination

                    Full examinations twice yearly ensure we have time to cover ALL aspects of your pet’s health, helping them live a long healthy life. This helps with early disease detection and intervention.

                      Nurse Consulting

                      Our highly skilled nurses run a consulting service to help provide cost-effective patient care. This includes some injections, blood collection, anal gland emptying, nail trims, weight management and more.
